Tiffany Hudson
Worship Artist • Elevation Worship
“God captured my heart as a young girl during worship, and now all I want is for people to experience that same presence of God that marked me when I was young.”
We are so honoured to welcome Tiffany Hudson to Parable Conference 2026. Tiffany is one of the most recognisable voices in Elevation Worship, and her heart for the presence of God is something you feel the moment she steps on stage.
Tiffany’s childhood was spent at the piano, playing the same four chords over and over until she felt the presence of God fill the room. Music and ministry were woven into the fabric of her life from the very beginning. After studying ministry at Southeastern University - where she began to hone her craft in songwriting after years of leading worship at her parents’ church - Tiffany took an internship with the worship team at Elevation Church in Charlotte, NC in 2017. What she thought was just checking a box to graduate became the place God would have her plant her life.
Tiffany has co-written some of the most powerful worship songs of our generation. Her co-write Graves Into Gardens became the No. 1 Christian song in the country with hundreds of millions of streams. She is also the writer and voice behind anthems like Wait On You, Never Lost, See A Victory, Jireh, More Than Able, Sure Been Good, and New Thing Coming - songs that have truly shaped the sound of the global church.
As part of the multi-Platinum-certified Elevation Worship, Tiffany has helped the group earn a Grammy Award, two Billboard Music Awards, seven GMA Dove Awards, and a K-LOVE Fan Award.
In 2023, Tiffany released her first solo project, Hidden Here - an intimate, eight-track collection birthed from her own devotional time. And her latest recording, The Wonderful Blood, carries what she describes as “a very triumphant feeling” - a celebratory declaration that we’ll never outgrow singing about the blood of Jesus.
We cannot wait for you to experience worship with her in the room this September.
Rich Wilkerson Jr
Lead Pastor • VOUS Church, Miami
We are thrilled to announce our next guest for Parable Conference 2026: Rich Wilkerson Jr - Lead Pastor of VOUS Church in Miami, Florida.
Rich is one of the most loved and respected voices in the Church today. Known around the world for his warmth, his wit, and his ability to make the Gospel feel alive and accessible, he has a gift for reaching people right where they are. Together with his wife DawnCheré, Rich leads VOUS Church - a thriving community in Miami built on faith, creativity, and a deep love for people and city.
Beyond the local church, Rich and DawnCheré founded VOUS Conference - one of the most anticipated gatherings in the global Church calendar. Each year, thousands of people including Church leaders from around the world come together in Miami to encounter God, grow in their faith, and be equipped for what’s ahead. It’s become a movement in its own right.
Rich also hosts the Mature Me podcast, where he sits down for honest, long-format conversations on faith, leadership, and what it means to keep growing. If you haven’t listened yet - you’re in for a treat.
We are so honoured to welcome Rich to Sydney, and we genuinely believe his ministry is going to speak powerfully to everyone in the room.
Matt Crocker
Worship Artist • UNITED
“Music has always realigned and reconnected my heart to the only One who has ever brought me any real solace in the midst of the ever distorting outside noise of my world that seems to spiral out of control the moment I take my song off of Him.”
We are so excited to announce that our dear friend Matt Crocker will be joining us as a worship guest at Parable Conference this September!
Matt is someone we have had the privilege of walking alongside in ministry for many years, and we are so grateful that Parable has become his home church when he is in Australia. His heart for God and for the Church is something that has deeply marked our lives.
As a longtime member of UNITED, Matt has helped shape the sound of modern worship around the world, penning some of the most beloved anthems of our generation, including Oceans (Where Feet May Fail), I Surrender, and This I Believe (The Creed). In 2025 he stepped into a new season with the release of his debut solo album interlude, and his next project, house partiii (Vol. 1) [Live], followed in 2026.
We cannot wait to worship together with him in the room this September.
Joel Houston
Worship Artist • UNITED & AMXNRADIO
We are so honoured to welcome our brother Joel Houston to Parable Conference 2026. Most of you know Joel as the frontman of UNITED, and for so many of us, those songs were the soundtrack to our formative years.
He has spent decades writing worship the whole Church has sung, including Oceans (Where Feet May Fail), The Stand, and From the Inside Out. Joel has always pushed the creative boundaries of worship, and his creativity has opened up new ways for all of us to encounter God.
But to us, he is simply family. Growing up watching his love for God up close has shaped us in ways that are hard to put into words.
More recently he has poured himself into something different with AMXNRADIO and the debut album The Profound Foolishness Of ~, a record that is raw, experimental, and unmistakably him.
We cannot wait to worship together with him in the room this September.
Hosted By
Peter & Laura Toganivalu
and the Parable Team
Peter & Laura
Peter and Laura carry a deep desire to see Jesus lifted high in their city, their nation, and beyond. More than anything, they desire to create spaces where people can encounter the presence of God, discover who they were created to be, and step boldly into His purpose for their lives.
In 2024, they planted Parable Church in Sydney with a simple yet powerful vision: to build a Christ-centred community where Jesus is at the centre of it all. Their hope is to see lives transformed, families strengthened, and a move of God ripple far beyond the walls of any building. They believe the best days for the Church are still to come, and they’re excited to be part of what God is doing in this new season.
Peter and Laura’s story has been shaped by over 35 years of growing up in and being part of Hillsong Church, where they served in many different capacities over the years. As Global Pastors of Hillsong Young & Free, they led youth and young adult ministries, ran large-scale events, and worship tours that impacted people around the world. Those years built their faith, stretched their capacity, and deepened their love for God’s Church, preparing them for the step of planting Parable.
Whether through worship, teaching, or simply gathering people together, their desire has never changed: to lift up the name of Jesus and create spaces where people can encounter His love and truth. Their hearts are full of faith for the future and all that God has in store.
